Great set of pictures, from a great event. Been a regular there for the past few years and it's getting more and more difficult to get great images because of the scrum on Piazza San Marco.
If you engage with the people in costume they are very obliging. We went again this year and on more than one occasion there was an idiot wanting their friend to take their photo alongside the 'costume' (with a mobile phone of course!) One person in costume politely moved them on (after posing for them) then pointed to me and posed until I had finished. Most of the time I collect a card from them so I can send them some photos, they are always very grateful.

Just to add my appreciation for the photos and as Lenny has said, what a great way to introduce yourself!
My wife is in bliss.
Thanks

20 years ago, in pre-smartphone-and-selfie era, some thought that elderly Japanese tourists rushing in all directions to take photos of everything with P&S cameras were a nuisance (by the way at the same time back then 20 years ago in Venice we noticed a new generation of younger Japanese taking a slow path of sitting and taking single shots of cats in the sun with Leicas). But today it seems that capturing images with phones became so commonplace that it almost makes you want to stop taking photos - just to be different. And as snapping becomes easier, photography becomes harder during such events as Carnival in Venice.

Really good Jarek, your wife obviously had an eye for a great composition.

She does not take photographs on daily basis, I handed her the Pentax just for the Carnival, and explained the basics of operation. She is a natural.
